Granted: 1897-07-31
Abstract: 12,970. Lake, H. H., [Deering, M. L.]. May 25. Tyres, pneumatic.-A single-tube tyre is provided with a hole through which can be inserted an auxiliary air tube with closed ends, to be inflated and used only when the outer tyre becomes punctured, an airtight fastening for the hole being provided in combination with the inflating-valve for the inner tube. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the single-tube tyre is slit at 11 for a short length at the part which fits into the rim of the wheel, and at the centre of the slit is a hole through which the valve-post 44 for the inflating-valve, which is attached to the inner auxiliary tube, is passed, and through which the inner tube can be inserted and withdrawn. The slit is covered by a diaphragm formed on the inside of the tyre which is also formed with a hole for the valve-post. The slit is closed by lacing as shown. The valve-post consists of a rubber tube, which is formed on and projects from the inner tube and into which the valve casing is screwed ; on the rubber tube is screwed or vulcanized a flanged metal tube on which is screwed a nut for making a tight joint round the edges of the hole in the diaphragm. The inflating-valve for the outer tyre is located at the opposite end of the diameter of the wheel rim. When the inner tube is to be inserted or with. drawn the hole in the diaphragm is expanded by a metal stay. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 9, an elongated hole is made in the outer lyre, and is closed between a corrugated plate 7 screwed on the valve-post 6 and a plate 75 fastened by a nut and a screw. The folded inner tube 3 is held in that part of the outer tyre which lies next to the wheel rim, by means of a tape 33 secured near the valve, and is thus prevented from becoming displaced by centrifugal force.

Title: An Improved Machine for Slicing German Sausages, and the like.
Inventor: BERKEL WILHELMUS ADRIANUS VAN
Filed: 1898-03-07
Granted: 1899-02-11
Abstract: 5567. Berkel, W. A. van. March 7. Slicing.-Polonies and the like are sliced by means of a knife-edged slightly-concave disc C as a table B on which they lie is reciprocated across it; the slices fall into a shoot F. The polony is fed along the table by means of a sliding plate N which has on its underside a hinged half nut normally kept in touch with an intermittentlyturning screw V by means of a slotted bail r having a counterweight W. The screw ending in a ratchet-wheel w is turned by a bell-crank lever Z bearing a pawl and travelling over a fixed cam f, more or less of which is brought above the horizontal guide-track of the table so as to vary the feed The rear end of the polony is clamped at the front of the sliding plate by a yoke P between racks n, n<1>, and the forward portion is prevented from slipping aside from the knife by ribs on the table and the over thrust of the knife itself. Just before the sliding plate would otherwise touch the knife, the hinged nut encounters a fixed cam, which disengages it, and the counterweight of the bail serves as a handle for pushing back the plate to receive another charge of polonies. The rotation of the knife is derived from a continuously-rotating shaft through the medium of mitre-wheels S, S' and chain-wheels T, T'. The reciprocation of the table is derived from the same shaft through mitre-wheels S, S' and lever arm G with a connecting-rod H. The travel can be adjusted by shifting the crank-pin e in a radial slot in the mitrewheel. To compensate for the recession of the knife edge due to wear and tear, the guide-tracks for the table are bolted to the framework through slots a<1>.
